linked subject index to parts - at base of page). Very useful for
the novice.
- BookWire. "The BookWire Index is the most
comprehensive, easiest to use guide to the Book resources on
the Internet, containg nearly 3,500 categorized links to book
sites around the world".
- Bulletin Board
for Libraries. The Library and Related Resources Page at the University of
Exeter (UK) provides extensive pointers to library and
information sites in the United Kingdom. An especially
noteworthy site is included with the indexes and
bibliographic information sources: the Bulletin Board for
Libraries (BUBL), listing the extensive BUBL subject tree of
Internet resources. BUBL is arranged both alphabetically and
by UDC (Universal Decimal System--a system similar to the
U.S. Dewey Decimal System). This UDS arrangement is one of
the best and most extensive examples of an online "library
catalog" of Internet resources. Also provided at this site
are library information servers, library catalogs, library
and related organizations, and scholarly societies, among
others.
